The Sun, book 1 in The Sun Lion arc

by GreeceXCats527

The Great Battle is over the four Lake Clans are striving. Two new kits, Sunkit and Flamekit, are born into ThunderClan with great power deep within their destinies. Meanwhile, a mysterious prophecy haunts Jayfeather's dreams, and he struggles on whether or not they are worth telling Lionblaze about. Rated T because I'm paranoid.

Prologue

She watched silently from the warriors den as they Clan settled in for the night. It was getting dark, and she could feel them moving inside her; it was time.

The slender she-cat slipped out and into the nursery, where she lay on the ground and cried out in pain as a contraction rippled through her stomach. Within seconds her mate and the medicine cat were inside. The medicine cat pushed some herbs underneath her nose, but she was too weak to eat them.

"I told you to lay off the warrior duties," her mate growled, pawing at the herbs. "You must eat these or you shall die!"

The medicine cat rested his paw gently on her as she took a deep breath and another contraction sent ripples down her side. Soon, a first kit slid out onto the moss and the mate nipped its sack and licked its fur to warm it up.

"He's beautiful," she murmured, only getting cut off by another ripple of pain as the last kit came. This one was big and she felt as though she would die giving birth to it.

Then suddenly, it all stopped. The pain, the kits, the medicine cat's frown. It all switched backwards; the pain left, now there were two kits, not one, and the medicine cat was smiling, if that was possible for him to do.

"Sunkit and Flamekit," the mate whispered, tucking the two kits in to suckle at her belly.

"Yes," she agreed. "My children."
